Secondly, the reduction of medication errors. Amador explained that the measurement of indicators related to safety in the administration of medications has made it possible to identify areas for improvement. "As a result, we have managed to reduce the rate of errors associated with medication by half, demonstrating the value of the measures implemented based on the analysis of this data," he stated, concluding that "these examples reflect how key patient safety indicators are powerful tools to improve the quality of care. Not only do they allow problems to be detected and corrected before they escalate, but they also promote a culture of safety and efficiency in health management."
